John Wall says Wizards hired Brooks to win a title, not to sign KD


John Wall told the Washington Post on Friday that the Wizards hired Scott
Brooks to win a title, not just to make a run at soon-to-be free agent Kevin
Durant.
Wall在本週五時告訴華盛頓郵報，巫師聘請Scott Brooks來當總教練，是為了贏得總冠軍
，而不是為了招募Durant。

Brooks, the former Thunder coach, replaced Randy Wittman as this week and
helped develop Durant for much of his career in Oklahoma City. He would be
part of the team’s expected marketing pitch in the off-season. Durant is a
native of the D.C. area.


“We signed Scotty Brooks to win an NBA championship,” Wall told the Post’s
Jorge Castillo. “We didn’t sign Scotty Brooks to say, ‘Okay, Scotty, go
get him. You got to bring us Kevin Durant.’ We got Scotty Brooks because we
feel like he can help John Wall and make him a better player and make our
team get to the next step.


“We didn’t get Scotty Brooks just to get Kevin Durant. That’s not what
Scott is on board to do. And I hope everybody doesn’t expect just because we
got Scotty Brooks, he’s automatically going to get K.D., he’s going to
automatically jump.”


Wall told the Post he was in favor of hiring the former Thunder coach and had
heard good things from OKC star Russell Westbrook, with whom he shares a
trainer. But he reiterated that Brooks was hired to move the team forward,
first and foremost.


“I just don’t think it’s fair on [Durant] and I don’t think it’s far on
Scotty and our part as a team and an organization,” Wall said. “If that was
the case, that’s not a real smart move and I know those guys didn’t [hire
Brooks] just for that. It’s about us trying to focus and win, try to take
the next step to give us a better team. One step is getting a new coach and
now the next step is getting free agents that are going to help the team.”

是找一個新總教練，然後接著下一步就是在自由球員市場尋找一些能幫助球隊的好球員。」

Wall說道。

The Wizards went 41–41 this season and missed the playoffs.
巫師本季41勝41敗，被踢出季後賽之外。
